Hosted by actor Tshepo Maseko, this Showmax Original series explores the heart-wrenching stories of those who were once deeply in love, only to be left in uncertainty.
Produced by Barkers Media, the creative minds behind Shebeen Queens, The Bala Family and How To Manifest A Man, the focus of the show is on tracking down the missing partner to uncover their reasons for leaving, culminating in an emotional reunion with the partner who reached out to the show.
